jrex Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Next week when the weather looks best my buddy and I plan on climbing the Fuhrer Thumb and I want to descend the finger. Last year when we climbed Rainer I vowed to never posthole down that mountain again. The question, is it irresponsible, bad form, to skin, climb up with a partner then wish them well on there descent walking while I bomb the finger??? Any beta on route conditions would be great as well....Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra_Commander Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Dunno about bad form but wandering around on the upper Nisqually solo without skis on feet would be a little spooky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Bad form and irresponsible to abandon your partner? Yes. Illegal to be alone without a solo permit above 10K on Rainier? yes. Â "wandering around on the upper Nisqually, solo". Dumb? yes? Â Dumb to not climb FF before you ski it? yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdizzle25 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 just FYI, this is the perfect conditions/time of year to become crevasse food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrex Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) This was one of those questions I knew the answer to but asked anyway...It's really just a matter of climb with skiers when I want to ski. Heading up to Adams tonight to ski and looks like I will be boot'n up Rainier with my other buddy next week. Thanks for keeping my head on my shoulders or better yet ass out of a hole in the ground... Edited June 25, 2011 by jrex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
